The campaign invites the local community to support the delivery of vital Hospice care through regular monthly donations.
Every day, Rowans Hospice nurses deliver compassionate, person-centred care focused on comfort, dignity, and quality of life. Whether they are easing pain on the In-Patient Unit, offering a steady hand within a patient’s home, or guiding loved ones through the landscape of grief, their work reaches into every corner of the community.
For local families facing their most difficult moments, these nurses represent a lifeline of expert care and quiet reassurance. “My role is about easing pain, offering comfort, and making sure no one feels alone at the end of their life. It’s a privilege to support patients and their loved ones with compassion, dignity, and kindness during such an important time,” comments In-patient Unit Nurse Jemima.
While the care provided by Rowans Hospice is free of charge to patients and their families, the organisation operates as a charity. It costs Rowans Hospice around £10 million pounds each year to provide care, and 78% of its annual income is generated through the generosity of the local community via legacies, donations, fundraising events, corporate partnerships and retail shops. The "Sponsor a Nurse" campaign represents a vital new addition to these diverse fundraising efforts, offering a direct way for supporters to stand alongside the Hospice team by providing consistent, monthly support for frontline nursing care.
The campaign aims to create a reliable stream of funding, allowing the Hospice to plan its future services with greater confidence. By choosing to sponsor a nurse, supporters provide the steady funding required to keep specialist care available in the heart of Hampshire.
Anyone can join the program with a minimum monthly donation of £10, which translates to 30 minutes of expert nursing care. Other impact levels include:
- £20 a month to fund one hour of nursing care.
- £40 a month to fund two hours of nursing care.
Those who sign up will receive a welcome pack, regular updates and an annual message of thanks, sharing the real-world impact their contributions have on the lives of local patients and their loved ones.
